EWG and How to Read Labels

Our friends at the Environmental Working Group have put together a new video about the ingredients on the labels of personal care products.

Ever looked at the labels on your shampoos, moisturizers and cosmetics? Do you really know what chemicals you’re putting on your body?

Most Americans use about 10 personal care products a day. And they think that the government is making sure these products are safe – but the scary truth is, it’s not. That’s why Environmental Working Group scientists have put together easy-to-use tips on how to read labels on personal care products. Check out the new video featuring EWG’s Senior Analyst Nneka Leiba on what to watch out for before you buy.

A Believer!

I scratched myself so often at night, that I awoke to find blood on my sheets. Doctors have given me steroid creams but nothing worked. Nothing, that is, until my husband read an article about the start-up of a manufacturer with an all-natural liquid soap line. He got some of the company's samples by calling the company (which they sent to us free of charge). I was a little skeptical of Keys Soap's claims that eliminating ubiquitous foam-producing chemicals like sodium laureth sulfate and ammonium laureth sulfate in favor of organic essential oils produces a better soap. But 12 days later, my condition cleared up dramatically. It's got to be something in the product. I regret I didn't take any before photos because my husband is stunned at the difference in my appearance. The itching has stopped.

College Son Acne

My son had been on a mild antibiotic for his skin (acne) while away at college. It wasn’t working, so I gave him a bottle of Island Rx when he came home for Spring break. I told him to wash his face and hair with it. Within 3-days of being home it was a 1000 percent better

Acne Gone!

The soap cleans my skin and erases my acne. This fine product also makes my skin feel softer. The Island Rx is the one I use and it smells really good. The smell lasts all day too which is really great.

Melanoma is more common in men than women and among individuals of fair complexion. Unusual moles, exposure to natural sunlight or artificial sunlight (such as from tanning beds) over long periods, and health history can affect the risk of melanoma.

Most skincare contains parabens. These are biocides that keep bacteria from forming. Parabens also kill the skin's microbiome. Results are skin disorders that can mimic eczema, psoriasis, etc. Avoid them for clear skin. Get Natural. Bob https://t.co/vQU0rHl1kU
